Important update for our local providers! At CareOregon, we know that addressing social needs is essential to improving an individual’s health and well-being. That’s why it’s our goal to provide comprehensive support to our members, including housing supports for those who qualify. We’re continuously working to streamline the process to make requesting support as simple and efficient as possible. We’ve just published a guide on the Health Related Social Needs Benefits and Health Related Services Flex Funds Program (HRSN/HRSF) to make it easy to access resources for your patients and clients.

The holidays are a time to give thanks and lend a helping hand to others. But did you know that practicing gratitude can also improve your mental and physical health? Studies show that regularly practicing gratitude can lower depression and anxiety, support heart health, improve sleep, and even boost your resilience to stress. Just 15 minutes a day, five days a week, can make a big difference! This holiday season, we encourage you to pause and reflect on the things you’re grateful for.
